Although spring is on its way, most of us are still feeling the cold. Chilly evenings call for major comfort and Dollar Tree has everything you need to create the perfect cozy night in. For just $15, you can stock up on warmth, relaxation and a creative outlet to make the cold nights more bearable.

These small touches turn a regular night into something special. Here’s how to spend your money wisely so that you can stay cozy.

Start With the Foundation: A Plush Throw Blanket

The embossed plush throw blanket is the anchor purchase at $6. This 50- by 60-inch blanket comes in dark grey, taupe, sage or dark blue and delivers exactly what winter demands. One reviewer purchased these blankets for homeless care packages and said the recipients loved them, another good way to spend a little money to keep someone warm.

The blanket is machine washable and made from 100% polyester. It’s lightweight but warm, making it perfect for couch time without overheating.

Keep Your Feet Warm: Snugadoo Soft Socks

Add the Snugadoo adult soft socks for $1.50. One customer who purchased them for chemo care kits said patients loved how soft, thick and warm they were.

The socks come in pink, purple, grey or blue. They’re the kind you put on after a long day and immediately feel better. Winter is hard on feet and these handle the job without the premium price tag.

Set the Mood: Two Pillar Candles

Pick up two Luminessence unscented white pillar candles at $1.25 each for a total of $2.50. These aren’t decorative candlesticks that never get lit. One reviewer said they burn for almost 36 hours with no smoke and a steady, safe flame.

The fact that they’re unscented is actually an advantage. You can light them without competing with other smells in your home. 

Add a Spa Touch: Scented Body Lotion

The Spa Luxury scented body lotion costs $1.25 and comes in scents like vanilla sugar, cherry blossom and love struck. Customers compared these to Bath & Body Works fragrances at a fraction of the cost. One person said the vanilla sugar scent kept her hands smelling amazing and feeling soft.

Bonus: The lotion absorbs well without leaving a greasy feeling. It’s the kind of small luxury that makes a cold night feel more indulgent than it actually is.

Create Something: Canvas and Paints

Use the remaining $3.75 for a simple creative activity. One Crafters Square white stretched canvas (8 by 10 inches) costs $1.25 and two tubes of Crafters Square tempera paint run $1.25 each for $2.50 total.

The paint comes in colors like orange, blue, silver, white, black, pink and glitter (fun!) options. You don’t need to be an artist. Having something creative to do beats scrolling through your phone for the hundredth time.
